Siedler 5 gold edition/Settlers 5 Gold edition
ARRRRRRRRGHH!!!!! I purchased a copy of Siedler5, Gold Edition, for 10 euros as a Xmas present, complete with serial etc etc etc, from a department store, so NO!!warez, NOTHING ILLEGAL,
 and now the d...ed disc already has a few (minor) scratches, and I need to make a copy as a back up. I use Win98, not XP/Vist., so I know i have limited possibilities, regarding back up software,...but still, there HAS to be a way to do it!??,...doesn't there?...Installed programs, Nero 6, CloneCd 5.3, using an LG HSthingamajig 48x drive, with updated drivers, haven't had any probs up till now,....and then.....nothing I used CCD5.3 to burn a DAO DVD, which seemed to work,...it finished anyway, then I installed from the copy, which also seemed to work, as the game is installed on my 2ndPC and works with the original disc perfectly. Now when I try to start the game, I get an error message, and canīt do Jack...... Alcohol and Daemon , at least the newer versions aren`t an option, due to Win98/Me,.. IS THERE ANy WAy to back my LEGAL!!!! ORIGINAL, factory fresh version up?????  Anybody have any ideas???? (and , no, throwing out 98/Me isnt gonna happen)..... I would REALLLY appreciate your help....(maybe older versions of alc/Daemon/Nero Image????) Many Thanks, NEEEEEEED HELP

Would be helpful to know the error your getting, cannot even attempt to help you otherwise.
If it was working before and then quite, then something has obviously changed. What have you installed since, etc..? Backtrack what you did after it was working fine -> to when it stopped working.

siedler 5
I won't have an opportunity to try it again till this afternoon (work), but I will, and then let you know.....if I remember correctly, it was a hmmm....''D0-number-number-number-letter-letter-bla-bla.TMP'' error,
....the wierd thing being the TMP abbreviation at the end....makes me suspect that CCD couldn't/didn't read a set-up temp. file correctly when it copied the image file.... but like I said, I'll take a look at it again this afternoon, and let you know. Thanks for your help, by the way  have a good day

finally back
well, I finally had a chance to take a look at the game again..like I said above, I have a totally LEGAL game and want to make a back up...
I deinstalled Siedler 5 ( I had installed it from the 1st attempt at a backup DVD; BUT every time I tried to play it, I got the following error message SHOK caused an error in ~DF394B.TMP when I opened the message, stack error at 016f:667c486b. OOOOOOOOkkkkkkk I deinstalled the game (from the failed backup) , reinstalled it from the original dvd, and everything is hunie dorie.......EXCEPT for the fact that I still don't know how to make a back up Like I mentioned, I run WinME (still like the 98 system better), and am unfortunately limited in my choice of possible software.....Blindread/Daemon/Alcohol all don't work under ME if I#m not mistaken..... what can I do?.... I went to the CloneCd homepage, and followed the tips there for siedler 5...and that was the failed attempt..... orrrr, do you think that the fact that I used a DVD-RW disc when I made the first back-up may have something to do with the fact that it doesn't work?...... The veryfirst thing I had tried, was an image file with nero6, but that REALLY didnīt work, Any ideas what i can do ?..... Sigh,......... have a good sunday:-) Thanks for your help..
